Japan - Land of the Rising Sun Tour
Bentleigh Secondary College has a long tradition of connection with Japan which includes a sister school in Osaka. The tour was designed to provide students with an invaluable experience of both language and culture to promote intercultural understanding, provide unique opportunities to use language, and allow Bentleigh SC students to connect with our sister school.
The days of sightseeing in Japan were incredible! From the serene beauty of the temples to the vibrant energy of the city streets, Japan offers a unique blend of tradition and modernity. Every corner holds a new adventure and a magical experience.
The students' visit to our Sister School in Japan was a truly enriching experience. It's wonderful to see students engaging in academic and cultural exchanges, building new friendships, and creating lasting memories. Such opportunities are invaluable in broadening their horizons and fostering a deeper understanding of different cultures.

Legal Studies
Legal Studies is an interdisciplinary course examining the meanings, values, practices, and institutions of law and legality. On Wednesday 6th June 2024 our students studying VCE Legal Studies had the opportunity to experience real-life court cases in action, as well as participate in a question-and-answer session with Magistrate Hartnett and a Supreme Court Judge. This was invaluable experience as it assists students in consolidating theoretical knowledge with practical insights, deepening their understanding of the Victorian justice system.
Push Up Challenge
Strength for Mental Health
On Tuesday 4 June, the grounds of Bentleigh Secondary College were buzzing with energy and excitement as students and staff participated in the Push-Up Challenge to support mental health awareness. This fantastic event was made possible with the support of Headspace Bentleigh and Headspace Elsternwick, who joined us to promote the importance of mental well-being.
The challenge saw our students showcasing their strength and endurance through a series of exercises including push-ups, star jumps, skips, squats, and lunges. It wasn’t just about physical prowess but also about camaraderie, sportsmanship, and having a blast while supporting a great cause.
A huge thank you to everyone involved—students, staff, and our wonderful partners at Headspace. Your participation and enthusiasm made the event a resounding success. Together, we are stronger, both in body and mind!
